The present mission-house at Umvoti is pleasantly situated ou the southern bank of the river about seven miles
from the const. Numerous Kafir kraals are scattered around in every direction: to the left of the house are seen the
school and chapel; the latter on the Sabbath-day presents an animated a„d striking scene, cro.-ded with sable worshippers,
all Iistenmg attentively to the words of their benevolent instructor: when they all siug a hy^n in their soft, soulus
dialect, the clicks and stops to which they keep regular time, have a smgular, yet pleasing effect.
